Wow I am so glad this shit wasn’t around when I was in high school. This sounds horrifying to have to deal with as a student.

The indifference of AI advocates is just apalling too. "It's going to happen anyway, they just gotta get over it, it's not real."

Teens can barely get over mild perceived embarrassment, nevermind having porn replicas of them spread around, and having to deal with related harassment. I dread how that will affect them.

There was an article 2-3 months back about a small town in Spain being torn apart by this kind of thing and I braced as I knew it couldn't be long. What a time to be a kid or parent.

Yep. My school years predate social media and mobile phones were pre smartphones. Shit cameras etc.

but the rumour mill was vicious and damaging. Very hard to prove the truth when the lie is so salacious. The more you denied it the more it seemed true.

These poor kids. How do they defend against this shit.

Just when I get the feeling kids these days are a little more tolerant than the last generation, NOPE! "Hey Chris! Watch this 5-min long video of our teacher taking a troll cock!"
